I don’t think it’s misleading, it’s likely to be maths. As the front triangle leans back to get slacker, the (horizontal) reach shortens. Meanwhile the slackening of the head angle means the front wheel gets placed further out, and so it’s probably this that means the wheelbase doesn’t change much.
